Ubisoft Summer BOMBA sale on Wii U and 3DS

ZombiU has been less than that at most retailers for months. Should be like $10 to constitute being "on sale".
Quite the opposite.
I thoroughly enjoyed the 50 hours I put in to it. There are some frame rate hiccups but nothing that will break the game for you.
Also the online is still going fine just not huge.
Missing DLC hurt but whatever.
Lastly the best thing is putting the entire HUD on the gamepad so you have the map and HUD on the pad and a pristine game world in front of you on the screen. This is seriously under rated by everyone. It really added to the experience for me

Hmm I might get Shadow Wars for that price but for everything else that I have some interest in I could find cheaper at retail.
It's not an RPG, just a turn-based tactics game. Fine good one at that and everyone here should buy it.

I don't know anything about those last two, but physical copies of Zombi U and Rayman Legends can be found significantly cheaper.
This is a shit sale.
Came to post this.

Might have to check it out.
sadly I just looked and it's going for $54 on Amazon new, and at least $23-30 on Amazon for used complete. It looks like it's available used at a number of Gamestop's for $9.99, but you might really have to search if you're trying to get it with case and manual.
Agreed, everyone who liked XCom and has a 3DS simply can't pass this up. Is it as good as XCom? No, not quite. But it's a darn good twist on the same genre and totally worth that $7.50 you'll probably never miss.

Those prices blow
On that list, everyone should get Rayman if they haven't already. Splendid platformer. Zombi U is also worth it unless you prefer a disc version, just because of its uniqueness.
I could use some convincing to pull the trigger on Cloudberry Kingdom. I wouldn't mind a tough platformer -- I almost bought 1,001 Spikes but decided I'd wait until they patch in off-tv and fix the glitches. But on the surface, the randomly generated levels of CK just seems kind of soulless.
I'm also contemplating AC 3 or 4 but I didn't really like the little time I spent so far on 3. And Splinter Cell is just stealth right? I still haven't picked up Child of Light (not on sale) but I might enjoy that more after all.
Nah. They still have Watch_Dogs and Just Dance 2015 coming at a minimum. I think they're probably just trying to intrigue new Wii U owners (due to Mario Kart). If this was an indication of them jumping ship, they'd be like EA who still has Madden 2013, FIFA 13 and Need For Speed on the shop for $60.
Also, Child of Light is in the Top 20 All Time Downloadable Best Sellers. Sales appear on par with NES Remix 2. And although I have no clue of the actual numbers, that's probably better than they anticipated.

Yeah, come the fuck on EA. I'll impulse buy NFS for $20 off the eshop.

Yeah, I've actually been waiting for this to go on sale, I hear it's actually pretty good.
Might get Origins on the 3DS too just to have it in 3D, what framerate does it run at?

I have $30 eShop credit. Tempted to get Rayman Legends but I have a tiny amount of space in my Wii U, not enough for a 6GB game. Can I buy off the eShop and then choose to download another day?
Also, anyone played the Rabbids Travel in Time 3DS game, and if so, is it ok? I know it's a platformer, and is really cheap at $7.50. Tempting.

Or just, you know, drop it like the 17,000 other old cliches we can't get rid of. Excuse me, I mean "drop it like dem 17,000 other old cliches"
P.S. I think this sale is going to force me to have to buy a 64 GB SD card for the 3DS. How the hell did that happen?

Ok ok I'll buy Shadow Wars. I'm playing Xcom on iOS right now, but this shit crashes sooo much. Drives me nuts.

Interested in Shadow Wars. Is this sale coming to EU, though?
For great justice...thank you.
Probably not. If cleaning your fridge is an option, you can do that and redownload the stuff you deleted later. If you have a basic and just don't have the capacity, I believe the eShop will block you from making the purchase. I think the sale runs till the 7th and finding a small external drive in the meantime would be a good investment anyway.

Thanks for the response, I have a deluxe and it's nearly full. I should try to finish some of the games I have already, I'm sure there'll be some other sales. May get a couple of the 3DS sale ones instead.

Downloading Shadow Wars. Don't know much about the game, but I love strategy games and 7.50 is a good price.

Fellow gaffers, right now ZombiU is on sale for US$ 14,99 in the Canadian eshop, not US$ 22,49. Can anybody in the US check if prices are somehow different between the US and the Canadian eshop?
I still see it brought up as an answer to 'which Wii U games do I get?!"
Man I'd really like to pick it up but the frame rate kills it for me. Has there been a patch that improves performance or anything? The digital foundry comparison shows it constantly being like 5-10fps lower than the PS3/360 versions
I've never played Origins on 3DS. At launch, I recall people complaining about framerate. Then there was a firmware update to the 3DS that increased system resources available for games. After that, people reported solid framerates.

It's been mentioned already but it's worth repeating - that Ghost Recon game was designed by Julian Gollop - the guy that made the original X-Com games. It's the real deal. $7.50 is a great price for it.

I'm going to buy Shadow Wars. This better be good!
